Bacardí Reserva Ocho taps Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler and his brand BIGFACE for a new expresso Martini.
One of the funniest and most creative things to come from the NBA’s bubble season came from the face of the Miami Heat, Jimmy Butler. Butler created his coffee brand while he was trapped at Disney and charged his teammates and opponents to indulge in his creation.
Eventually, the coffee shop he created within the bubble and made its way into the world. Surprisingly the demand was enormous and BIGFACE coffee is getting bigger than ever and now has its first collaboration. BIGFACE has teamed up with Bacardi for a new martini that will have Miami in a chokehold in no time.
The BIGFACE Café Con Ocho martini cocktail only uses two ingredients and has a bold flavor consisting of nutmeg, vanilla, and rum. Furthermore, those flavors blend with BIGFACE’s Coffee La Paz Expresso for a euphoric treat.
According to a press release, you can also visit a few Miami hotspots to get one mixed up for you.
“Also, fans will have the opportunity to savor the BIGFACE Café Con Ocho at popular hotspots in Miami and South Florida – including COTE Miami, 1 Hotel South Beach, RUMBAR at The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, The Commodore at The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, and neighborhood icon and Top 50 Bar Café La Trova.”
For those of you outside of Miami dying to try the martini the recipe is listed for you below. Additionally, you can watch a video of Jimmy Butler giving you step-by-step directions here.
